| webereinc | when I enter a command 'sudo service cups start' I get an error 'start: Unknown job: cups' error. Also, there is no file in the var/log/cups area? Can anyone help troubleshoot why I can't get cups to start so I can add a printer to my new install of Lubuntu? | 01:36 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | webereinc: try the wizard.. you shouldnt have to do it that way | 01:47 |
| webereinc | holstein: 2 things: 1, what is the wizard? 2, I agree - but since CUPS didn't start on its own, I just want to start CUPS now and then look into why it didn't auto-start... But it's neither starting nor logging, so I don't know how to troubleshoot it... | 01:49 |
| holstein | webereinc: there is an add a printer wizard.. you dont need to start cups and go there manually | 01:50 |
| holstein | webereinc: try clicking "add a printer" | 01:50 |
| webereinc | holstein: The 'add printer' button is greyed out and it says "Printing service not available. Start the service on this computer or connect to another server." | 01:53 |
| webereinc | holstein: That is why I'm trying to start CUPS | 01:54 |
| holstein | webereinc: nothing about that references doing what you are trying to do | 01:54 |
| holstein | webereinc: do you want to continue in the #ubuntu channel? | 01:54 |
| webereinc | holstein: yes | 01:55 |
| holstein | webereinc: enjoy! | 01:55 |
| webereinc | holstein: can you give me any suggestions? | 01:56 |
| holstein | webereinc: i literallly click that button and add a printer | 01:57 |
| holstein | webereinc: you can try from the live CD.. you can try as another user.. you can read about starting cups properly manually if you think that will help | 01:58 |
| webereinc | holstein: I understand, but if the button isn't there - | 01:58 |
| holstein | !cups | 01:58 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu | 01:58 |
| holstein | webereinc: the button *is* there | 01:58 |
| holstein | webereinc: is it grey because your user doesnt have permission? | 01:58 |

| Ascavasaion | lspci gives me VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller as my graphics card. I am trying to run Google Earth but it tells me that I do not have "3D accelerator card with shader support". HOw do I enable those please? | 12:35 |
| bioterror | starts to be quite old and slow graphics card | 12:37 |
| bioterror | by default it should be enabled | 12:37 |
| bioterror | if it's not, then you card does not support shader | 12:37 |
| Random777 | hey all, Was making the switch to lubuntu, since i tried lxde and love it, i was wondering has anyone got the mint menu working on the lxpanel? i think it'd make a perfect envoment for me. | 12:39 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: Is there any way to test it? Or check? | 12:51 |
| bioterror | http://www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver/ | 12:53 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: : It says UNKNOWN | 12:55 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: : It says UNKNOWN | 12:57 |
| bioterror | seems so | 13:00 |
| bioterror | sounds like no Google Earth for you with that hardware | 13:01 |
| Ascavasaion | bioterror: Oh, how lovely. | 13:03 |
| javatexan | morning all. Just started with lubuntu and love it...two issues: 1) I have window that is "stuck" at top of desktop with no handle to grab to bring it back down. 2) can I turn off touchpad touch as click, I keep selecting things with simple touch of thumb on touchpad...macbook pro. Thanks in advance | 14:49 |
| bioterror | javatexan, press alt -key and then you should be able to drag that window | 14:50 |
| javatexan | bioterror: sweet....thanks. I knew there had to be a trick...there always is. :) | 14:50 |
| bioterror | javatexan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse | 14:53 |
| javatexan | I am on macbook pro and touchpad tapping is turned back on even though gksudo gpointing-device-settings indicates its still off after restart...If I cycle it through turn on then off, it works. I am guessing this is not the preferred way ;), is there a way to make that setting stick? Thanks. | 15:23 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse#Touchpad_settings | 15:24 |
| bioterror | Edit ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart | 15:24 |
| bioterror | Disable tap to click | 15:24 |
| bioterror | @synclient MaxTapTime=0 | 15:24 |
| bioterror | if that's what you mean | 15:25 |
| bioterror | seems like the ~/.config/autostart with program.desktop does not work anymore and the ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart is the working method | 19:58 |
| bioterror | running 13.10 | 19:58 |
| Unit193 | Guessing lxsession-edit doesn't help? Thought something changed with that, but can't remember what. | 20:02 |
| bioterror | just a moment | 20:05 |
| bioterror | gotta check again | 20:05 |
| bioterror | yeah, I have them correctly there | 20:07 |
| bioterror | and enabled | 20:07 |
| bioterror | does not work | 20:07 |
| wxl | bioterror: doesn't work in either location? | 20:12 |
| bioterror | it works if I use .config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart | 20:12 |
| bioterror | but not with the .desktop files under .config/autostart | 20:12 |
| bioterror | yeah those are in the lxsession-edit | 20:12 |
| bioterror | but just does not work | 20:12 |
| wxl | yeah cuz i thought ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart was the way to make it work | 20:13 |
| Unit193 | According to the lxsession wiki, desktop files (freedesktotp standard) should work. :P | 20:18 |
| wxl | bioterror: not sure this is relevant to the current situation, but it does revolve around a similar problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1068640 | 20:20 |
| bioterror | if someone is using 13.10, can he confirm this | 20:20 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1068640 in lubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "user-configured autostart in home conflicts with systemwide file" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 20:20 |
| bioterror | or is it me :D | 20:20 |
| phillw | bioterror: I've lost track of which one is the correct one now. | 20:31 |
| phillw | gilir: which is the correct directory area for autostart in 13.10 ? | 20:32 |
| bioterror | ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart | 20:32 |
| bioterror | at least for me | 20:32 |
| phillw | I know things have changed, just taken my eye off the ball. Having it definitive means we can ensure the wiki is up to date :) | 20:34 |
| phillw | bioterror: sorry for the delay, been on wiki duties for QA :D have a look at bug 579524 | 22:27 |
| ubottu | bug 579524 in lxde-common (Ubuntu) "Create a common start* script to share common commands between lxde sessions" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/579524 | 22:27 |
